On 1976's The Pretender, Jackson Browne confessed to enough distractions from his craft and disenchantment with the world around him to make a candid and contemporary rock album that set an optimistic stage for what was lying on-deck. And though Running On Empty would become Browne's quarter-century meal ticket, it was no favorite to the hard cores who found commercial contrivance in its "rock-star-on-the-road" concept. Yet nearly three decades after its release, the remastered and repackaged live album sounds as innovative and unsullied as ever (complete with a DVD that includes audio of two previously unreleased songs from the era). Recorded on stage, on motel room furniture, and aboard the tour bus, the songs served as Browne's diary of a mad musician, including womanizing in Danny O'Keefe's "The Road," drugs in the Rev. Gary Davis' sermonette "Cocaine" and the enduring anthem of roadies and crowd adoration (and a Top 10 hit), "The Load-Out." Though Browne's commercial appeal would never again rise to this level, his legacy in his generation of popular music was sewn, and the record that put him there is still running on endurance. --Scott Holter
Album Description
Quintessential California singer-songwriter and 2004 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee Jackson Browne has created some of the most literate and emotionally resonant compositions in popular music. Rhino's new version of Running on Empty is an incredible sonic reinvention, visually augmented with the brilliant photography of Joel Bernstein, shot during the historic tour on which the album is based.

 Astonishingly good November 4, 2008
drew (georgia)
This was never my favorite JB album. (That would be Late for the Sky). Still, the sound via DVD Audio is so crystal clear and moving that I cannot stop listening to this version. If you are even remotely a fan (and have DVD Audio capability), invest in this one. You will not be disappointed.
 Fun Album-good surround July 26, 2008

I like the hotel room quad surround recording, they must have had fun and it shows. Recording has expected rough edge but is fun to listen to. You can almost tell how large the room is.

Jackson performed in a series of"day on the green" concerts at a winery at Lake George, near Canberra (Australia)in 2003. What a great afternoon of music, sipping wine up close to the stage, full sound and best of all I could actually see him up close and personal. Makes "Running on Empty" so much more real as I've seen the concert albeit 30 years later!!

A classic album re-mixed in to multi-channel sound. I find the mix subtle but suitable for the music of this disc. The overall sound depth and clarity is a definite step up from the regular CD.
thanks - i'll have a refill. January 28, 2007
Ann M. Byrne (Queensland, Australia)
I don't know what I was hoping to find when I got this dvd. But whatever it was, I was left with the feeling I had found something even more precious. It's the odd glimpse of genius at work - "yeah, we could do it like that", the depth you reach as he shares every breath with you, then takes yours away. And that's just the music. Most of all it's Jackson's intensity, passion and vulnerability exposed in the photos. He is surrounded by great people - musicians, friends, adoring fans. And yet he is alone, empty, the grail for unquenchable thirst. You want to be his fountain. Take another look at this beautiful man. Get to see where the music comes from.
